A
faltering economy in the West Bank, incendiary airborne devices
dispatched from the impoverished Gaza Strip, renewed and spiraling
tensions on the Temple Mount and protests staged by Palestinian
security prisoners jailed in Israel might cause a conflagration on all
four fronts. While all four issues are extremely volatile for different
reasons, violence erupting with just one of them could be enough to set
the other three aflame.(The
fifth one can be an order from Iran to initiate and provoke a military
conflict/escalation between Israel and the PA in order to distract
attention from its nuclear program issue.)

The West Bank

Palestinians
in the West Bank could face fresh hardship after the Palestinian
Authority rejected the transfer of roughly $130 million in monthly tax
revenues gathered by Israel on its behalf. The PA, under Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas, is refusing the funds in protest at Israel
deducting from the tax revenue the stipends that the PA gives to
convicted terrorists and their families.

The Gaza Strip

Hamas
has been increasing the rate at which it dispatches explosive devices
tied to balloons from the coastal enclave into Israel, in addition to
the resumed night time clashes on the Gaza border, with Palestinians
hurling dozens of Molotov cocktails at the security fence.

East Jerusalem

The
Waqf - the Islamic trust tasked with maintaining the Muslim structures
at the site - forcefully and illegally reopened a small compound in the
eastern part of the Mount, on the inner side of the Golden Gate
entrance. The compound, called Bab a-Rahema, has been closed in recent
years because the banned Islamic Movement used it as meeting place.

Security Prisoners Jailed in Israel

The
Public Security Ministry decision to install cell phone jammers in
jails housing Palestinian security prisoners has led to a new wave of
protests in those institutions.

Hezbollah
leader Hassan Nasrallah said Friday that Israel is “scared” of another
war with his Lebanese terror group. Hezbollah is believed to possess
between 100,000 and 150,000 rockets and Israel has warned it is working
to develop precision missiles with Iranian assistance.(Those rockets will be the first target of the next conflict!)

The
EU’s General Court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by Hamas to take the
group off the list of terrorist organization so that it may be allowed
to gain access to its frozen assets in European banks. The court’s
ruling cited a number of Hamas terrorist attacks on Israelis and
foreigners.(Why did it take so long to realise that?)

Riyadh
Al-Maliki, the PA’s 'foreign minister', called on Arab states to
implement the resolutions of the Arab League and take the necessary
measures to act against any state that recognizes Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel or relocates its embassy to Jerusalem. "We will never
abandon our land. We will defend our rights until we realize them...(What
a 'shock" - the PA does not want peace with Israel! “Our land” is the
Jewish land they are occupying! Their 'use-by-date' importance to
enemies of Israel has expired. Even Arab states have no use for them
anymore!)

Interior
Minister Aryeh Deri has delayed the planned deportation of hundreds of
asylum seekers from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Israel
after the Foreign Ministry said they may be in danger if they are
returned to their home country.("Maybe"
is not definitely - term is often used by the 'Ugly Nazi' and other
‘Israel-loving’ organizations to smear and undermine Israel! Gutless anti-Semites never say “definitely”!)

UN
High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has decided to
postpone the publication of the "blacklist" of Israeli and foreign
companies operating in Judea and Samaria. The Human Rights Council has
mandated the publication of the list since 2016. However, due to US
threats to withdraw from the council the publication had been delayed.
After the US withdrew from the council in 2018, citing the body's
anti-Israel bias, efforts to publish the list resumed.(In
relation to Israel the ‘Ugly Nazi’, the UN affiliated organizations,
are always using – Israel “May,” “Possibly,” “Likely”, “Probably” and
other ‘definitive’ legal terms to denigrate, smear and extend
‘shelf-life’ of bias anti-Semitic accusations against the Jewish state!)

Quote of the Week:

"If
you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually
come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the
State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or
military consequences of the lie."- Josef Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda -The second sentence is less known, but very more important to understand! Many governments havebeen using this principle!

Stop Self-victimization.

by Steven Shamrak.

It
is easy to manipulate public opinion; fascists and communists were
masters of this craft. History is made by people who act against 'mob
mentality'. The creation of the state of Israel is a clear example of
this fact!

There
is a Jewish saying: "Any evil can be justified by quoting Torah out of
context". Successful wars and anti-terrorism strategies teach us
that, in order to reach an objective, it is not advisable to negotiate
with terrorists or implacable enemies. Effective theories of success
recommend setting your own life goals and persisting in achieving them.
Most of the time, the opinions and actions of others adversely
influence our resolve.

After
the deportation of Jews from Jewish land by the Jewish government,
which is a historically unprecedented act of ugliness, the following
questions must be answered:

- Why do we have leaders if they lead us nowhere?

-
Why do our rabbis not take a moral stand and why do they not give us
guidance on the important Jewish issue of Jewish land?

-
Where are our brilliant analysts, strategists and PR people? Why
do we not utilize them toward achieving Jewish national objectives?

-
Why do Jewish philanthropists, renowned for their generosity,
continuously contribute to corrupt and gutless organizations without
demanding results and accountability?

One
does not need to be a security expert to understand that the retreat
from Gaza will not stop Arab terrorism, nor will it save money or
Jewish lives. There is no need to be a rabbinical scholar to understand
the meaning of Joshua 15:20: "Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza,
its towns and its villages; unto the Brook of Egypt, the Great Sea
being the border thereof."

Only
after the Independence and Yom Kippur wars, in spite of the 'unhelpful'
efforts of the International community, did we regain only 18% of all
Jewish land. Why do we have to share it with enemies who are determined
to destroy us?

It
is time to get united behind the Jewish goals. Unfortunately, for 60
years it was not done and we are seeing the hideous result. It is time
for Jews to step out of the Diaspora mentality and stop
self-victimization. It is time to take back what is rightfully ours.
